Abstract: 23,126. Minue, W. E. Oct. 6. Engines with two or more parallel cylinders with axes perpendicular to main shaft; revolving - cylinder reciprocating piston type. - A revolving - cylinder engine using steam, compressed-air, or gas consists of a number of tangentially-disposed cylinders 10, 11 arranged in pairs inclined to one another and in transverse alinement, in which are pistons 13 connected by rods 16 to arms 14 on eccentric parts 19 mounted upon a stationary crank-pin F. In the arrangement shown, four pairs of cylinders are provided in each corner casting, and the whole is rigidly secured between end plates J, M. The parts 19 are mounted upon a split sleeve 17, 18 upon the crank-pin, and are connected together and to the end-plates J, M by crank-levers 61, 62. The motive fluid is supplied to the cylinders in the same longitudinal plane in each corner by a common valve 22, Figs. 7 and 9, provided with inlet ports 101, Fig. 3, connected to an inlet passage 100, and exterior exhaust ports 26, 27. Passages 22<c>, open to the fluid supply and connected to the ends of the valve, are provided in each corner casting. The valves are oscillated by means of links connected to arms 29 on the strap of a normally stationary eccentric L arranged upon a sleeve 41 continuous with the end plate M. The position of the eccentric is adjusted through toothed gearing by a handle 48. The end plate M is formed with countersunk passages 33 adapted to contain the working parts of the valve mechanism, and is covered by a subsiduary face - plate 34. Leakage past the plate 34 is prevented by a gland 40, which contains a ground metal packing in contact with the plate 34, and soft packing. The cylinders are provided with drainage passages 70 which are controlled by piston valves moved transversely by rollers adjusted by hand. The rollers are secured to cranks on spindles mounted on opposite sides of the engine casing. The handles on the spindles are simultaneously operated by a common connexion. The exhaust fluid is discharged into the engine casing, and lubricates the exposed parts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lathes.
Inventor: KLEHE ALEXANDER
IPC: B23B29/04
Filed: 1911-03-27
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 7607. Klehe, A., and M³ller, A. March 27. Turning.-In lathes for use in turning the rims of wheels, means are adapted whereby the copying-roller on the tool slide is forced directly round the gauge groove generally in a direction along the groove and thus steep curves are readily surmounted. The machine has two tool slides, one for operating on the conoidal portion and one for operating on the flanged portion of the rim. The first slide is operated transversely by a pin i, Fig. 2, on the slide being actuated by a cam-slot in a fixed gauge plate k as the saddle b is moved longitudinally by a screw d. Fig. 3, and nut e. The slide c is also capable of independent adjustment transversely on the plate h which holds the pin by a worm f and corresponding rack g, a screw v serving to hold the parts tightly after the adjustment is made. The other tool slide c', Fig. 4, which operates on the flanged portion of the rim, although having the same adjustment on a plate h<1> as the other slide by worm f and corresponding rack g<1>, has a different arrangement of gauge slots and guiding-pins. In this case the copying-pin i<1> has guide-rollers t' and pressure-rollers s<11> mounted on it, and is adapted to be pushed round a gauge groove formed by an outer ring k<1> and an inner core w fixed to a plate x, Fig. 5, by a series of pressure and guide rollers as shown in Fig. 7, which are interposed in the gauge slot between it and the actuating-pin r. This pin also having pressure rollers s passes through a circular slot in the plate x and is fixed to a worm wheel o mounted on a pin y fixed to a removable casing q, the worm-wheel being capable of rotation by a worm n. The pressure rollers on the pins are of larger diameter than the guide rollers, and are moreover fixed to the pins, while the guide rollers roll along the gauge groove and are loose on the pins. As the worm-wheel is rotated, the pressure rolls s, s<1> transmit the motion to the pressure rollers s<11> on the copying-pin i', and the tool is traversed at the same time that the slide b<1> is moved longitudinally. Two different forms of curved gauge slots and pressure pins are shown in Figs. 8 and 9.

Filed: 1911-10-24
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 23,500. Bridge, E. H. Oct. 24. Metering systems.-Metering apparatus arranged in the exchange operator's cord circuit consists of two electro-magnets, one being energized through the calling subscriber's circuit, and the other by that of the called subscriber. When the call is effective, one of the magnets registers the call, an ineffective call being registered by the other magnet. The two magnets 8 with their switches are shown in Fig. 1 and the circuit arrangements are shown in Fig. 5. A call having been received and the corresponding plug e having been inserted, the circuit shown in heavy lines is completed over one of the windings 8<a> of the two magnets and the winding 8 of the lower magnet to ground at the plug sleeve. The lower magnet attracts its armature 9 thus tilting the ball race 15, and slightly raising the armature 10. When the called subscriber replies, a second circuit is completed from the battery b over the second winding 8a of each magnet and the winding 8 of the upper magnet to ground at the sleeve of plug f. The attraction of armature 10 causes the bent piece 13 to strike the spring 14 and project the balls 24 along the guide 25, thus closing the contact l with the spring 27. The contact registers the effective calls on the operator's meter c and subscriber's meter k. The attraction of the armature 10 also enables the loop 17 to tilt the race 15, thus returning the ball 20 without contact having been made between the springs 21, 22 ; but if the call is not answered, the removal of the plug e by de-energizing the magnet 8 closes the contact j at the springs 21, 22 and the meter d registers an ineffective call. The split wound coil 8<a> on each magnet ensures the armatures being held until both subscribers are disconnected. The coils 8, 8<a> may be used in place of the usual resistances shunting the lamps in the cord circuit.
